Hi,
What are the hostels in Palermo like?? I've never stayed in a hostel and was wondering about price, privacy, location and if i neeed some kind of membership card....
Thanks.

Hi, I can't say I've ever stayed in a hostel either but here's a site you could try.

I had a brief look, and they all appear to be reasonably priced and clean.
As far as I know, you don't need any membership cards or to join any organisations.

I haven't been to Palermo, but here's the link to the HI hostel there.
http://www.ostellionline.org/ostello.php?idostello=592 It looks a bit far out of the city center; can anyone comment?

italian hostels seem to be quite rigid - they chuck you out between 11 and 3 - just when you want a bit of riposa - and they have a curfew - midnight or even earlier - and they are usually quite a long way out of town

I've stayed at a few hostels with curfews, but they've always had night keys to lend out if you want to come back later.

not the one i stayed at in genoa
